Merry Christmas It’s been a while again since I’ve been able to post. I used to be able to have the wherewithal to actually compose a thought. Now i have to recall 2 weeks worth of stuff to catch myself up on. *sigh*. Well, this was the first year (and hopefully the last) in my … Read More
Boys will be Boys So I did a live moderated chat with B2K today. Honestly before the chat was confirmed on friday night, I had no clue who they were really. I did a little research… and these kids were born in 85…. gosh. I was in the 5th grade. That’s a long time after … Read More
“How are you doing Vic?” “I’m working Very very VERY Fucking hard….” That’s my response. The workload has consumed me… I dream about it. I think about it constantly. Trying so hard not to misstep.

He recently caught pneumonia that caused total renal failure… and that’s what did him in finally. He’s been in this limbo for some months now. But I … Read More
There’s gonna be a morning when I wake up and FEEL free. I drag myself out of bed every morning. I dread going to the bathroom. I hate getting on the train. Is it supposed to be like this for 40 years? Is this what they were talking about in the business. Can I do … Read More
